Yeah, so he said he shipped the ball parcel post, so no proof of shipment, and if something happens, no insurance, so this deal is all wrong. I just hope i see the ball, because i do have the info I need if I don't.
UPDATE_______________________
He wrote me today and let me know it was his brother using his SN on here. He refunded my $40 and did it very, very quickly through Western Union. Was very courteous and will not hold this against him.

Yep. Got the MO and cashed it yesterday afternoon. I will ship the ball out tomorrow. Thanks for being a dick so far on all of this though. I apprecite it. Makes me want to do more deals with you
...so, he doesn't seem to understand that i had a reason to be worried about my shipment, since he had time to cash the MO, but not time to write me, and that was a great way for him to tell mes...thank a lot!! i really son't appreciate be called that, especially when i have done nothing wrong, but that's fine.

You only wait long enough for the MO to get there, let alone enough time for it to be cashed, then post a possible negative feedback for the guy. As soon as you found out he cashed it and didn't immediately contact you, you want to bust him without giving him 4-5 days to ship the ball to you. Unless you exchanged email addresses, a PM is the only way he could have written you and not everyone logs on every day. Most of us would find time, but it's a busy time of the year for many. I agree he shouldn't have used foul language, but you didn't exactly hand out the peace pipe.
it would be a different story entirely if he was a trusted BR member who was selling a ball at a reasonable price. maybe the fact that he's new and sold the ball at an amazing price is ebough for me to be somewhat skeptical. i made it clear in my post that i meant nothing negative yet and that i said there is no reason not to trust him on his sale post and on here. new members need to earn the respect and then i would be more understanding, especially after what happened last month, i'm sure everyone's going to be a little cautious from now on. just saying that under the circumstances, he should have wrote me. it's common courtesy.

Why do people send stuff parcel post?? Its so slow and as cost just a few bucks less than priority mail.. There is also no way to track it so god knows where its at or when it will get to its destination..
I always ask if how someone plans to ship and if they say parcel post, I say no thanks, sell the ball elsewhere..
Its really just common sense.. How would you feel telling someone this"
"Your ball has been shipped parcel post, but I have no tracking number or proof that I sent it and I also have no idea when it will show up and I did not insure it"
If someone tells me that, we are going to have a HUGE problem..
ALWAYS send stuff using fed ex or ups ground so a tracking number can be provided for both parties..

people work hard for their money to buy equipment and when u dont reply to people, you give everyone (sellers) on ballreviews a bad name.
if you havent sent the balls yet, send the money back.

Promised to ship on Wed and did not ship til two days later. All, I am saying is that you are NOT a perfect seller/trade person either.
If you like I can post the PM's. I prefer not to but again people in glass houses.
ON the other hand please show me I did NOT do exactly as I said I would? Also, there are NO msgs from you that you were going thru a hard time.
Folks please don't go thru sales or trades if you do NOT intend on going thru with them....whether you have $ or not to ship balls or NOT......just say because of circumstances I can not do any deals right now.

Dude, seriously...get a grip. He took 2 days longer to ship. 99% of all Sellers/Buyers, HAVE ENOUGH COMMON SENSE to know that things happen.

Next time Josh pony up with the goods instead of going bowling league and entering side pot games. Costs you $12 to ship a ball and you can't even afford that. Sheesh is all I can say.

It's done as far as I am concerned. I am NO longer selling/trading anything on BR. I'd rather give away my equipment. Case closed.
I still feel strongly that some of the problem stems from people doing deals where the profile box reads as:
Profile
eolson78 has not entered a profile
Close Window
It seems that the problem children tend to be the ones that can't be bothered to offer up a profile and rarely offer much in the non-trade/sale forums.
Post by: Nicanor on December 24, 2005, 05:55:06 PM
I also sent a money order to Eric for a ball. I talked with him a couple of times through BR's messaging and he has always responded to my messages in one or two days. No I haven't got my ball yet and he did say he shipped it. Eric use to be a BR member a couple of years ago but has changed names and I can't remember his last BR member name.
When I get my ball I will let you know. I hope I get my ball soon but USPS and Christmas with a heavy object like a bowling ball is not a good mixture.

If this is the guy you're talking about, me and Slopsurprise live less than 45 minutes from this DOUCHE BAG.
If you guys don't recieve your equipment, let us know. We'll make sure he never picks up a bowling ball again.
Good luck.

Like Nicanor said, I have no profile I believe
either and I am one of the oldest members on BR
I believe. Me and Nicanor have done business like
I have done with many of you. A false profile will
not stop this bull from happening. We got taken by
Beach Bowler and I'm not happy about it, 210.00
gone and I will never get the money or refund. In
that deal the person who said they got there equipment
from Beach Bowler we messaged for there Tracking #.
No reply, so it was him more or less with probably
a duel BR name setting up his scam. It's a shame
it's hard too trust BR members, I remember the days
when you never had too worry but there long gone!
The BR member your talking about is the same person
bidding on NIB Old Classic's on Ebay and winning a
few. I only hope it's not with your money and good
luck too all, we hope you get your equipment!
Thanks MadMax

i will offer eric a chance to send the money back via paypal unless he wants this on his record.
i dont know what else to do.

That address is the address that I mailed my money order to. Guess what? I haven't received my bowling ball that was shipped supposingly over 40 days ago. I know USPS is slow during the Christmas Holiday system, but I was hoping that at least one person received there bowling ball from Eric.
